Taste Of India - Hot Springs

I decided to take the 20-minute walk from my hotel to the restaurant, only to be disappointed that it was closed for renovation. Why did the open table app allow me a reservation? In the profile of the restaurant within the app there is a part for notes from the restaurant; Why was there no notification of the renovation? So I went back 20 minutes to the hot springs in downtown and chose another restaurant that was closer to my hotel to start with.

The food was great. Only those in the restaurant at the time. It was buffet style so waiters/owners? Not very faint. Only came to fill waterglass.

Curry was too sharp, amount of rice less, bit expensive

Great food and friendly service. We stopped for a quick bite and didn’t realize they had a buffet. There was enough variety and food was warm. Nice to be able to sample several dishes.

I went there for takeout. I ordered the chicken curry which is just a generalized sauce that's often unique to the specific restaurant. This one was truly unique. I've had Indian food from over a dozen India restaurants. I liked it and I would order it again. Fresh ingredients, high quality chicken, a unique and delicious sauce, and it can be ordered mild, media, or spicy! The samosas were delicious but a little greasy. I'm use to the dry samosas that come in a bag- not the frozen ones, but the dry snack sized ones! These were delicious though and came with two chutnies that were also very good. I don't like food to be overpowered by onions but the chef said he could not omit onions and that they're in the sauces. He warned me that the food there has a lot of onions. However, when I was eating I did not notice the onions too much. The spices were well balanced. All of this was good, but the bad is that during dinner hours the meal is pricey. I paid 19 plus 4 for tip just for take out. The samosas were 3.50 on the menu but 4.5 on the ticket. All of that is fine but I'm not going to get dinner there again. The portions are more lunch portions than dinner. I think the prices were too high but I'm not going to argue that the food wasn't worth it. Imagine, you can't get this food anywhere else in town! This is the sole Indian restaurant! If you want Indian food then you're driving to Little Rock over an hour away. Lunch buffet is around $14-15 after taxes. I'd argue that this was a great deal for the quality of food and it's uniqueness.
